    He doesn’t understand what a franchise is or how they work. He thinks every pizza hut restaurant is owned by pizza hut.

      No I do not. Try to address the actual problem instead of insults.

      Y’all are incapable of understanding that franchises pay out to the parent company. The money the parent company gets has to come from somewhere. If you guys can’t understand that, then that’s on you.

        You claim to understand how franchises work but your comment says otherwise.

        How much do you think franchises pay in fees to pizza hut?

        How much do you think it will cost the average restaurant to pay delivery drivers the 30% wage increase?

          Did I say all of the greed comes from this particular stock buyback? Did I say all of the greed comes from franchise fees? No. Try thinking it through.

              Not sure he understand they’re not employees of Pizza Hut. They’re employees of the franchise. I also don’t think he understands how low margin food is. If an employee doesn’t generate enough value they are gone. It’s not a charity.

              Surprise surprise, you couldn’t understand the argument even when spelled out to you in the simplest way possible.

              Any more glib back and forth you’d like to have?

                You haven’t spelled out anything, you have no idea how much franchises pay in fees so your claim that that’s the problem is ignorant.

                  Yeah, because billions of dollars just appear out of nowhere.

                    What’s your point? That pizza hut saved up revenue and was able to buy back shares instead of refunding franchises so they could afford delivery drivers for a year?

      That is what I suspect. I can’t see the correlation to greed, stock buybacks and franchise owners laying people off.

      The answer is simple at 20 an hour the roles were no longer viable

        All franchises that wont pay living wages should lay off all their employees and then y’all can run around screaming again about how “nobody wants to work” because you can’t have your McCheese

          Gee, I wonder if those pizza workers were dead before, or if they considered the wages they worked for to be living wages?

                Pizza Huts are everywhere. If you think it’s worthwhile money go work there.
